We're chillin' ...

Yeah, absolutely Dave. I am ashamed to think that whatever discussions, heated as they may have been, have ended up discouraging anybody. I look forward to meeting Dave soon ... he's just a pompous limey, and can't help himself (wink wink, Dave).

For now my game plan is just to keep on with what we're doing here in Chicago, and if the LA community comes up with something that works better than what we're doing, I'll be asking permission to board. Or if it excludes non-LA animators, that's still fine, because a healthy industry is good for everybody.

I guess I would just add - one more time, because I only learned one note in music class - that TV animation can be a terrific bread-and-butter industry, and you guys should go for it. All is not lost there, no matter what some people say.
